Saab Says BAE Paid $3.5 Million To Sanip

BAE is fined for bribery and corruption time and time again yet it seems the only ones being punished are the stockholders who ultimately have to pay the fines resulting in these court findings. Why haven't any of the BAE senior executives responsible for these acts been sent to prison? Until this happens there isn't any deterent to prevent them from continuing these ethical breeches. Is the British class system so strong that the courts looks aside when the upper class commits these crimes?
